Review
4 / 5 ★More staff
loving it
4 / 5 ★keep up the goodwork
Independent Living
4 / 5 ★ORA needs updating with the proposed new act . Prompt return of portion or purchase ORA.
very proffit first attitude
1 / 5 ★residents have very little to no say in this village
The residents are very nice but
1 / 5 ★The residents of villas are ver nice to socialise with too but living independently means just that. Look after yourself and don't expect the continuance of care to nursing staff if needed. Pushing an emergency button call system does not provide professional immediate help! 'Call an ambulance' they say. Being new to Chch its almost impossible to get a G.P.
Very poor
1 / 5 ★Very poor. Profit before people.
